EAC Certification (CU-TR Certification) Exporting environmental control equipment and ventilation equipment to Russia requires EAC certification (CUTR).
I. Applicable Regulations and Certification Types
Core Regulations
TR CU 010/2011: Safety of Machinery and Equipment (Main Regulation).
TR CU 004/2011: Safety of Low-Voltage Electrical Equipment (Applicable to Equipment with Motors).
TR CU 020/2011: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).  
Additional Regulations for Explosion-Proof Equipment:  
If used in flammable or explosive environments (e.g., chemical plants, mines), additional compliance with TR EAEU 012/2011 Explosion-Proof Safety Standards is required.  
Certification Forms  
EAC Declaration of Conformity (EAC DOC): Applicable to most ventilation equipment (e.g., general fans, air conditioners).
EAC Certificate of Conformity (EAC COC): Mandatory for explosion-proof ventilation equipment (e.g., explosion-proof fans), requiring laboratory testing + factory audit.

II. Required Certification Documents  
Submit materials in Russian or English:  
Company Documents: Business License, ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate (required if applying for a COC certificate).
Technical Documents:  
Product technical specifications, design drawings, list of critical components;  
Product photos, nameplate labels (including Russian parameters);  
Technical Passport (detailed description of equipment parameters and functions).  
Test Reports:  
Domestic test reports (e.g., CE, explosion-proof certification/IECEx reports may expedite the process);  
Samples may need to be sent to Russian laboratories for testing (e.g., EMC, mechanical safety, etc.).
💡 Special Note: Explosion-proof equipment must additionally provide explosion-proof structural drawings, domestic explosion-proof certification, and test reports.

III. Certification Process and Timeline
Step    Content Description    Estimated Timeline
1. Application Submission    Submit documents to an EAEU-accredited institution (e.g., Shanghai Jinghe Industry)    1-3 working days
2. Document Review    Institution verifies the completeness and compliance of technical documents    1-2 weeks
3. Sample Testing    Laboratory conducts safety, EMC, and explosion-proof (if required) testing    2-4 weeks (Depending on the project)
4. Factory Audit    Applies only to mass production applications for COC certificates (inspection of production lines and quality control systems)    1 week
5. Registration and Certification    Certificate registered with the Eurasian Economic Commission, issuance of EAC DOC or COC certificate    3-5 working days
⏱️ Total Duration: Approximately 4-6 weeks for standard equipment; 6-8 weeks for explosion-proof equipment.

IV. Key Considerations  
Labels and Markings:  
Certified equipment must be affixed with the EAC mark (size ≥5mm). Explosion-proof equipment must additionally be marked with the ‘Ex’ symbol.  
Agent Requirements:  
Non-EAEU companies must designate a Russian authorised representative (to handle registration, customs clearance, and post-sales compliance).
Customs Code Matching:  
Accurately declare HS codes to avoid certification invalidation due to incorrect classification (e.g., explosion-proof fans classified under 8414.59).

V. Certification Scheme Selection Recommendations
Production Mode    Recommended Certification Scheme    Applicable Scenarios
Single-batch export    EAC DOC Declaration (1-year term)    Trial orders or sporadic exports
Regular batch production    EAC DOC (3-5 year term)    Stable supply of non-explosion-proof equipment
Explosion-proof/high-risk equipment    EAC COC Certificate (1-5 years)    Specialised ventilation equipment for chemical plants and mines

6. Optimisation Strategies
Pre-review: Have technical documents pre-reviewed by a professional institution (e.g., Shanghai Jinghe Industrial) to avoid delays due to rejections.
Reuse existing reports: Holding CE or IECEx certification can reduce duplicate testing and save costs.
Monitor regulatory updates: The 2023 TR CU 010/2011 added an appendix on robot safety, which applies to intelligent ventilation systems.
Certification Body: Shanghai Jinghe Industrial Equipment Testing Co., Ltd. specialises in product certification and testing for Russia and Eurasian Economic Union countries and serves as the Chinese representative office of the Russian Testing and Certification Group.
